Rita has everything: 15 years and a whole summer ahead of her, a future ex-boyfriend, and a best friend to braid her hair. But then she visits an exhibition by a neighbor of hers, and her perfect world crumbles around her.
João Nicolau has become one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Portuguese cinema. This dreamy coming-of-age fairy tale is cast in both epic and intimate proportions—just like the flutters of first love. A truly original, delightfully tropical ode to adolescence and the escape into fantasy.
